Unreal.

Gears of War is how EPIC is going to sell their engine.

The future is now :D  OMFG!!!11one

What will really do it for me is if those fancy graphics can spawn some more detailed or highly refined gameplay.  I'd love to see a FPS game refined to the same level that Blizzard has refined the RTS genre.  Perhaps with the combination of some other genre elements.

Well truth be told, the engine is for the PC also, and I would imagine also for the PS3 potentially. It's just the game that's on the XB360, though hopefully it will come to PC at some point, cause it looks damn cool; the first game Epic has made since the original Unreal Tournament.

Yeah, the U3 engine is on PC (obviously) and PS3 as well.  It was about the only geniunely running thing shown on the PS3 at its E3 unveiling.

Seems to be the current (gfx) engine of choice for next gen.

This engine should look great in the upcoming UT2007 and will also be used in other games for years. Now they just need to change the weapon stats back to what they used to be in the first UT.

I hope you actually "feel" the weapons in 2007, unlike the first three.
My poor computer will probably die trying to play it.

Consoles = balls.

Anyway, I'm not too interested - cause I'd have to spend over 3000 dollars to actually UPGRADE just to play it on minimum settings :p

I'd be concerned about having a game that's based around multiplayer FPS'ing having this level of graphics atm. It's bad enough in single player Doom when the frame level drops in combat, if that happens in a multiplay game, it's going to kill the playability.
Maybe in a few years time when graphics cards are capable of handling it more, I'll be more interested.

That does sometimes become an issue, but the UT games have generally been very flexible with graphics settings and run well on a variety of hardware. You can just turn down several of the effects until you get 70fps or so at all times, which has pretty much been a requirement in the UT games. Anyway, I will have overhauled my computer by then so I'm not too worried.

Hell, it scares me, and my machine's pretty up-to-date. There's no way in hell I can afford to buy yet another cripplingly expensive lot of hardware any time in the next few years...

EDIT: And UT, that's hardly fair. There've been some kickass console games. :nod:

The point they are making is that deepblue has a habit of shilling for MS on these forums.
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.
